cyberstrikeus Continuous Monitoring (DE.CM) Continuous Monitoring
High-Level Description
Function: DETECT (DE) Framework: NIST Cybersecurity Framework v2.0
Assets are monitored to find anomalies, indicators of compromise, and other potentially adverse events
What to Check
- Verify Continuous Monitoring (DE.CM) Continuous Monitoring outcome is achieved
- Review documentation and evidence for Continuous Monitoring (DE.CM)
- Assess organizational maturity for DETECT function
How to Test
Step 1: Identify Current Profile
Determine the organization's current and target CSF profile tier for Continuous Monitoring (DE.CM).
Step 2: Assess Outcome Achievement
# Review organizational policies and procedures
# Check for evidence that Continuous Monitoring (DE.CM) outcome is met
# Interview stakeholders responsible for DETECT
Step 3: Map to Technical Controls
Identify which SP 800-53 controls implement this CSF outcome and verify their operating effectiveness.
